i was introduced to these guys when JB did a guitar solo for Emery's new Cd and i have to say normally i don't like this type of music but they do it really well, I'm going to have to get my hands on this album.
@Fabioso12 We're all deeply sorry for forcing you to listen to this "fucking gay" song. If only you had some type of choice in all this. Almost make me wonder...
@jmania21@AlexanderWearsPrada the answer is!!!! 4/4 followed by 9/4. The way JB put this one together is absolutely nuts.. You can almost say 15/4 with a pickup note inbetween frames, but it wouldn't end on beat.
So it alternates 4/4, 9/4, 4/4, 9/4, 4/4, 9/4, 4/4, then ending with 9/4. >.<
incredible, this song just made me re-evaluate my life. i feel like this is a personal sign from god to me. i have no where to run. had some "crazy" thoughts lately. but i can go on.
This song has helped me get over the loss of my sister who died before her first birthday, when it said that the sky must be dark to see the stars I realized that god used this death to bring me closer to him and now I am changed forever and I'm not the first and certainly not the last to be touched by abr's music
Hey guys it would be so awesome if you liked my Facebook page called "New Metal, Metalcore, and Deathcore Bands/Songs Every Day". I just posted a song from ABR right now :)
@LittleCrow18 well we don't *need* it. and i was kind of making a humerous scenario if the world actually ended just kinda light one up right there it'll be okie.
God bless ABR. This type of music is so moving to me because it deals with the absolute darkness, pain, and loneliness felt in life at times, but at the same time glorifies, worships, and honors the Lord in a way that can reach millions. God bless these guys, those who know Him, those who want to know Him, and those who reject Him. He is so pure, so is His Son, and so is His Spirit. We are blessed that we can appreciate Him this way because of bands like this. ALL Glory be unto HIM who loves us.
This song really hit home when I heard it today. Yesterday a boy named Harry Cohen died, he was a football player from my old high school. I didn't know the kid, but he lead his team to victory days before his death. The whole town here is at a lost of words to see such a young hero die, even people who didn't know him such as myself. This song really brought the emotion that I felt about his death. Prayers to his family and all the ones who will miss him. This town will be reborn.
@ThinkTheRick This song is based off of a similar experience. 4 guys from their hometown died in a car wreck. All seniors and football players. Almost reminds me of We Are Marshall. This should be played with the credits xD
@TehKrakerzGuy I can't believe you used August Burns Red and The Word Alive in the same sentence. The Word Alive is as bad as Design the Skyline.....just stick to ABR please.
@ircool321 I really don't care what your opinion is. The Word Alive is one of the best metal bands I've discovered since just last year and I don't think anyone has topped them since my finding.
Bought their Deceiver album the week it was out, met the band, and it was some of the best moments I've ever shared with such a great band.
Jake said on an interview that 1/16/2011 was the date 4 high school students were killed by an intoxicated driver . and this song and 1/16/2011 are a tribute to their families.
This album is so full of energy and life! I love the enthusiasm and ambition in this! It's almost like they're trying to tell us that there's no point in following Christ if you're not gonna go as hard as you possibly can, and I fully agree! These guys sure know how to worship, amen?
this song is actually very comforting. i have 2 very good friends with cancer right now and i've been struggling in my faith. it's hard to know why God let's tragedy hit us but "He is God, we are just men. who are we to question?"
but as always, scripture and the music of august burns red have saved the day :) "this melody will move us, this town is reborn"
@Harmonjayschunemann you'll probably think its plain because constellations was such a good album, but i think that some songs are even better than some on constellations.
@Harmonjayschunemann dude i thought the same thing when i heard some of their new songs, they do have some plain sounding songs on this album... but then i heard "salt and light" and "carpe diem" and "pangaea"... there is some plain sounding songs, but they make up for it with some really good songs. if u listen to these songs and still dont like it listen to "internal cannon" there's no way u wont like that song.... its just not possible....
@ccarter010 - Yeah, I know. I have heard him declare his faith also. But, he says "God" and "Father," but he has not mentioned Jesus Christ...at least not yet in a song lyric.
@Swagathor - Yes bro, I'm a Christian too. I'm not saying what Jake has been doing was wrong. I am only saying that his faith is growing and he has become more bold. Therefore, maybe the next album will actually mention the name that is above all names and the name that offends people. That name is Jesus Christ. That's all I'm saying.
At 0:04 it sounds like Jake's saying Brett Favre.
Maybe it's just me, haha.
